EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Three-handed seat, no. 21 from the First Aid series of Wills" takes us back to a time when cigarettes cards were not just collectibles but also educational tools. Produced in 1913 by the English School, this colour lithograph showcases an essential technique for carrying a patient during emergencies. The image depicts three individuals skillfully executing the three-handed seat method, demonstrating their expertise as care bearers. The composition is both intriguing and informative, capturing the viewer's attention with its historical significance and artistic merit. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that these cigarette cards served a dual purpose – promoting tobacco products while imparting knowledge on first aid techniques. Issued by the Imperial Tobacco Company, they aimed to educate smokers about vital life-saving skills alongside their enjoyment of smoking. Now preserved in a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images, this photograph allows us to appreciate how society has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and highlights the importance of acquiring basic first aid knowledge. Let this image serve as an inspiration for all who view it – urging them to take proactive steps towards learning valuable life-saving techniques while appreciating art that transcends time and boundaries.
